Most corruption could be weeded out with term limits for congress and senate. Start there and move on to audit every budget in every office and ngo getting tax dollars.

Other side of the coin. They see that they're only in office for a short period of time, take everything they can and never really see the repercussions because they're out of office anyways

For clarification, are you just trolling, or do you think term limits would be a bad thing for the country?

I'm for, but just looking at it from a different point. If you knew your job was coming to an end.... you wouldn't raid the supplies closet? Grab a nice Swingline in red??
I find it so adorable that people think corruption would be weeded out with term limits. You would not eliminate corruption with term limits. You would just have an endless cycle of the same face as running for different offices over and over and over again. Do your five terms in Congress, then do your two terms in the Senate, then go be a governor, then go be a mayor of a major city, then go run for vice president and then president. Moved to a different state and run for a different office.
Then, have your friend who took your job and became president to nominate you for a lifetime appointment to the judiciary. Instead of having these cancers **** contained within one building, you'd have them all over the **** country destroying case law and setting new wacky precedence.
What's the only thing worse than a congressman? A congressman who's now a federal judge. No thanks.

Inflation Rises Unexpectedly, Keeping Fed Rate Cuts at Bay
The Consumer Price Index rose 3.0 percent from a year earlier as food and energy prices picked up.
Honest question for you guys here. I just watched an Elon musk take the foreground in the oval office and talk about all his BS while the president quietly sat by like a good lap dog.
What would all you guys think if Biden had done the same thing with George Soros? It's the same thing reverse....
Doesn't anyone see what is going on here?

Which is the sign of a better leader? The ability to delegate responsibility and then trust those to whom you've delegated? Or the compulsive need to micromanage and take credit for every facet of your administrations activity? Which possibility is happening here?

Yes, I like that.
But, does the leader still let their people shine? Or is it necessary to overshadow all subordinates at all times?

To wit, Mr. Trump has been widely criticized for his choice of Mr. Musk to perform these tasks. So, he puts Mr. Musk to the forefront to present his ideas. Seems reasonable, yet when he does so, he's now taken to task for allowing Musk to present the ideas he's been tasked with creating.
It seems there's a circular logic to the questioning, a loop which cannot be escaped and only allows a certain pre- ascertained conclusion to satisfy the questioner.

It seems out of character, doesn't it? It's not what he's been known for in the past. I wouldn't harness his capacity for growth to my level of belief, though.
I think that in many ways Frank's question is a good one, legitimate and historically accurate in that we've seen many times that the person supposedly at the helm is actually being steered by someone or something else. Who was the business leader that put Truman in the Presidency saying "anyone can be President, even a mediocre businessman", or words to that effect.
Likewise, many think that Hillary was the brains behind a more palatable Obama presidency. Examples abound.
Also, Frank's question is good because I remain leery of DJT, if only because of the massive ego. But, people don't get where's he's gotten without an oversized dose of ego. I'm unsure of the answer to that implied question, that being is Trump the lap dog, but it only seems fair to present another possibility, allowing for Trump's growth into a more statesmanlike leader rather than the usual biased assumptions.
I'm still pondering the answer.
I can answer the other question, what if Biden had Soros in the same scenario? Firstly, let me say that I suspect that Soros is often maligned and credited with all kinds of things that he never really did, or backed. With that said, had Biden sat there while Soros did all the talking my thinking would be that it demonstrated a level of Democrat transparency not seen since the airing of The Birth of a Nation in Woodrow Wilson's Democrat White House.

"If you do not read the newspapers you're uninformed. If you do read the newspapers, you're misinformed." -- Mark Twain
I guess the follow-up question is, what's the difference between Soros' and Musks' agenda?
Also, @VegasFrank and @Vision... you know we all see what we choose to see.
Another question; what if Biden had Musk in his office explaining what he's doing to help bring some efficiency in government? The Biden-backers would be eating it up, no?
What Biden did was worse. He hid who was running his government. Biden "worked" 10-4. But he didn't remember those hours anyway. Biden had a shadow government running the country.

Trump Is Elected Chair of Kennedy Center as Its Longtime President Is Fired
The move cements President Trump’s grip on the performing arts complex, which he recently purged of Biden appointees. His actions have prompted an outcry in the cultural world.
I guess I'm a day late to this, but here's a good article dealing with term limits, giving some historical context, and detailing pros and cons of limits.
Personally, I fall on the side of no term limits, rather, that voters set term limits through elections, although practically speaking, with the strength and finances of political parties, removing an incumbent is much more difficult now than when the Founders debated the subject.
You guys are hilarious. Nobody actually answered my question. By not answering it, you've answered it. The act doesn't matter: he who commits the act is the important thing.
Carry on sheeple!
